On Monday night, your trusty Dig reporter was relegated to the press gallery, and spent an hour
and a half trying to find the damn booth for rotating floor credentials, being
sent up and down the stairs, getting a different answer from every DNCC
staffer. It made my thighs slightly stronger and the ball of rage in my stomach
significantly heavier. It made me wonder how the Dems would run a country, when
they can't credential a reporter. But last night I found the magic booth and
got onto the floor, so all is forgiven.

Yesterday, I was buying a drink at the gas station, when
a woman asked the clerk for directions. I told her I could direct her, since I
was headed that way.
"Where's your car?"
she asked.
"I'm walking."

The war room The Republican Party War Room HQ are in the backside of
an office building?? Off Speer Boulevard, with dilapidated cardboard
"McCain" signs pointing to the parking lot. But the inside, covered
in posters showing a cartoon Barack Obama and the slogan "A Mile High, an
Inch Deep," and "Not Ready 08," along with huge American flags
flanking the main desk.
